One way to get a TEMPORARY lift from caffeine is a caffeine tablet. It's 200mgs pure caffeine. You can find it as Stay Awake at WalMart. At least, that's the brand I use. No Doz might be the same. It says it's the same as a cup of coffee, but I have no proof to that. All I know is that it helps a lot when I have GOT to be awake to teach. (Even home schooling, you still have to be awake to do it!) And I hate the taste of coffee.

The drawback to using it more than once or twice in a row is a Migraine like headache the size of New York. Withdrawal, basically, from the caffeine. There is also the chance that it MAY kick off an episode. That varies by person.

My advice: call your Pdoc, have him up your medication, and do what confused said. Use your current supply to hold you til the new script comes.

Be proactive and don't wait til next month. You'll still have to wait another few weeks for the meds to kick in anyway.

My Warning: don't combine this with sleep deprivation. You will crash, big time, when it wears off. If you've tried and didn't get enough sleep due to whatever, then this is okay to use. If you are personally limiting your sleep, this is likely to backfire. And for Heaven's sake, DON'T go drinking coffee on top of this. You'll be in bed for two days trying to recover from the headache, or worse.
